West Ham won't be playing there in 15 years in my opinion. Will be a disaster.

Somewhere else. I just think it will kill them. For now it's a novelty, but that is never and never will be a football stadium. It will be half empty later this season. Just watch.

It took us years to get over Maine road and we moved to a stadium much more suited for football. I have spent hours researching West Hams new ground and it is the next stadia de alpi. West Ham will be bottom half this season and will loose 6 plus games at home in my opinion. It is soulless and a poorly thought out idea. The distance between row 1 and the pitch is huge. The gap between the Lowe tier and tier 2 is huge. Generations of West Ham fans have grown up on green street pre match pubs. This will kill them. I might be wrong but let's see. Think it will get that bad it will cause Brady and co to sell up.

Thought it looked pretty good at the Olympics and would be a decent stadium, watched the game at the weekend and thought it looked a soulless bowl and was hugely disappointed it was like watching a MLS game for some reason

Apparently, they've sold 52000 season tickets for a 60000 capacity stadium;Somewhere else. I just think it will kill them. For now it's a novelty, but that is never and never will be a football stadium. It will be half empty later this season. Just watch.

So, unless they have a LOT of no-shows, the stadium should not be anywhere near half empty. This season, anyway.

How can you say that when they are spending money putting canvas covers between the second tier and scaffolding stand .also putting a bit of astro turf over the running track.just read a post on kumb why carnt they use proper grass ffs.Somewhere else.

Like how they are going on about the standing when I guess its probably the only way they can see the pitch

They have sold 10000 season tickets at 99 quid. Thousands won't turn up to midweek games. They will become more infamous for empty seats than the arse and us.
